Nigerian actress Omoni Oboli reveals she has never considered ending her marriage despite early struggles, offering advice to young couples

Nigerian actress and filmmaker Omoni Oboli has revealed that she has never considered leaving her husband, Nnamdi Oboli, despite challenges in their marriage.

The couple, who tied the knot on 28 October 2000, recently appeared on an episode of *Pulse Fun Facts*, where they took turns answering intimate questions in the spirit of Valentine’s Day.

During the conversation, Nnamdi asked his wife, *“Have you ever had an ‘I’m done’ moment in our relationship, and how did you handle it?”* Without hesitation, Omoni responded, *“No, I’ve never.”*

However, the 46-year-old actress admitted that she has sometimes questioned getting married at a young age. *“I’ve had moments where I was like, ‘Why did I get married so early?’ but never ‘I’m done.’ Ever,”* she shared.

The couple reminisced about their early years together, revealing that frequent arguments characterised the start of their marriage. *“When we first got married, we quarrelled every single day. We quarrelled a lot. We quarrelled so much,”* Omoni recalled.

She attributed these misunderstandings to their lack of courtship before marriage, saying, *“It’s because we didn’t date. That’s what people don’t realise. We didn’t date. So, that first month, we were really just getting to know each other well.”*

Nnamdi playfully added, *“You thought it was a scam anyway.”* To which Omoni, laughing, replied, *“I was like, ‘You scammed me.’”*

Reflecting on their journey, Nnamdi offered some advice to young couples. He emphasised that marriage requires effort and responsibility. *“Marriage is a responsibility. You don’t go into a marriage expecting it to happen to you. You are not the third party in your marriage.

You are the relationship. It’s between two people; you have to make it work,”* he advised.

Nigerian actress Abimbola Craig discusses her choice to stay single at 38, critiquing traditional marital roles and valuing self-aware partners.

Nigerian actress and film producer Abimbola Craig has shared her perspective on marriage, revealing why she has chosen to remain single at the age of 38.

The Skinny Girl in Transit star said her views were shaped by lessons from her mother, who once remarked that the title “Mrs” stands for “Master’s in Residential Servicing.”

Craig reflected on the societal expectations placed on married women, which she finds problematic.

“All marriage is a scam. When I was small, my mum always told me marriage is an institution. She said when they call you ‘Mrs,’ it stands for ‘Master’s in Residential Servicing,’” Craig explained during the interview.

She clarified, however, that her decision to remain single is not a rejection of marriage but a choice rooted in her values.

“I am not married, not because I do not want to be married, but if you are a man who does not know who he is, you cannot be with me,” she emphasised, underscoring the importance of self-awareness and purpose in a partner.

Craig is widely recognised for her role as Tiwalade in the hit web series Skinny Girl in Transit. She has also achieved success as a film producer, co-producing the 2019 box office sensation Sugar Rush alongside Jade Osiberu.

In addition to her career milestones, Craig has spoken openly about personal challenges, including a near-death experience following brain surgery in 2014.

She recounted dealing with severe complications such as insomnia, nausea, and weight loss, which left her fearing for her life.

Craig’s insights on marriage and individuality continue to spark conversations, reflecting her commitment to authenticity and living life on her own terms.
